David J Smith

David J Smith, trading as David J Smith Construction, works out of Methuen and holds a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 141554, that is verified active with the state registry. BuildZoom separately lists a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor licence, CS-058994, which it reports active as of June 2026. The permit record describes whole-house general contracting rather than any single-room specialty. Five permits span 2019 to 2024: a $178,000 shed addition in Danvers taking in kitchen, bath, laundry and two bedrooms; a $152,600 conversion of a Newburyport two-family into two condo units; a $27,000 interior renovation in Everett installing two fire-rated doors and a demising wall, which reads as commercial work; an $11,500 kitchen-and-bath cabinet, flooring and paint update in Methuen explicitly marked as no structural work; and an undescribed residential remodel in Haverhill. Only one of the five falls in the past two years. No customer has published a review of this business anywhere the directory can reach — BuildZoom states outright that it has received none, and its listing is unclaimed. There is therefore no rating here, and that is the honest position rather than a judgement about the work: what can be verified is the licensing and the permit history, not how the jobs went for the people who paid for them. For a homeowner planning an addition, a whole-house remodel or a multi-unit conversion, the permitted scope shows relevant experience at real budgets. Ask for recent addresses you can look at, confirm which registration covers your specific job, and ask directly about current availability given how few permits have been filed lately.
